To t.,c Citizens of HiDzmnn.

In few short weeks the next anniver.
slry OF the nations birth win be at hand,
and already many OF the larger cities are
making extensive preparations tor its
proper celebration. IL Is true that, in the
Territories. we are unable TO Compete
with the older states in the magnitude
and display incident to a proper observ-
ance Of Independence Day, bat it IL not
trus that the people Of the Territories are
any the less patriotic or public spirited
than those OF the older states, and no
good reason exists why the Fourth OF yu-
ly should no: be- properly celebrated in
every little village or mining camp
throughout the Territories OF the United
States. Such celebrations encourage the
love OF country, so dear TO every one, fos-
ter good feeling AMI fellowship among the
citizens OF the greatest republic on earth,
and promote harmony and friendship
among mankind generally, and such be,
ing the case they shol!d BE-. encouraged
and multiplied to the greatest extent pos
sible. II Is also a noticeable fact that the
American nation has fewer public holi-
days than any other nation on the earth,
and this Is the more reason why We
should make the most OF what we have.
With this object in view We desire 10
call the attention OF the people OF King
man to the fact that last year the citizens
OF Mineral Park, with generous liberality
and laudahle patriotism, celebrated the
Fourth OF July in manner worthy OF the
day and OF themselves. We also desire
the people OF this town to remember that
they were invited TO Mineral Park on that
occasion, and that great many Of them
accepted the invitation and participated,
and that all who did SO were loud in their
praise OF the hosp!tlbl reception they
met with.
At the same time it was generally nm
derstood that the compliment shoIld be
returned this year bv the people OF King
man, and that every body at Mineral
Park and the surrounding camps should
come over and help us celebrate the COM
ing anniversary. Let US then get togeth-
sr at once and raise the necessary funds
and get up celebration at Kingman that
will eclipse any thing o. the kind ever
held IN the Territory Of Arizona.

1t is said by those who know that Johnsons
Anodyne Liniment is unlike any other in the
world and that il is the most wonderful family
remedy ever discovered. 1t is both for inter-
al and external use, and is equally valuable in
either case. 1t is safe to say that no remedy

Th- Anodyne Lniment is richly worth ten
dollars bottle in certain cases.
For instance. in cases OF dphtberia, Group,
and asthma when the sufferer is almost dead
for want OF breath. and something is required
TO act instantly. To an old man suffering with
severe kidney disease, ten dollars is no more
than a cent for bottle of this Anodyne. In
all such eases it will give immediate relief
and by using it occasionally, it will afford com
parative comfort the remainder of life. A per-

part Of the body, nor what the cause, can get

Since our issue of last wee

Since our issue of last week we have heard
further interesting particulars relative to the
burning of Samuel Moons house in Ellsworth

Monday evening of last week, at about the
hour OF nine, Mrs Moon, while engaged in
winding up her clock. leaned one hand so
heavily upon the leaf OF table which stool
close by her, that she upset it. On this table
were two lighted kerosene lamps holding
